Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet,
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

A Messy Mouthful On Moanday Monday!

Are you the powerful one in your household? Do you hold sway and make sure your staff bend to your every whim? Now are you also a messy eater? I have to admit I have been known to drop peas and the such (vegetables are the devil's food) all over the floor. Maybe occasionally I will use my human's legs as a napkin. Well according to scientists powerful people are messy eaters. That is right! So if you eat with your mouth open, or leave crumbs in your furs or drool at the sight of something tasty it is because you are a powerful dude. Psychologist Dacher Keltner and his team made this jaw dropping discovery at the Berkeley University California. We are not sure if any illegal substances were used when conducting these land mark experiments but it sure explains a lot of what goes on in my house when food is involved. So next time your peeps calls you a messy eater smile and remember you have the power.Have a marvellous Monday all.

I finks yous being a bit saucy Molly!!!!But I'm not a messy eater 'cos that would involve leaving foodables and I always do a crumb sweep to make sure I've not left one single tasty morsel!Loves and licky kissesPrincess Leah xxx

wow that means I not only have power, with my bad table manners I AM THE POWER! woohoo... do you like HP Sauce and Worcestershire Sauce too? My staff is a giant fan... dad tried it even on a bun with jam... butt that was not the real Mc Coy... probably the jam was untasty lolEasy Rider

That is very interesting! I also heard that getting tired after a meal is a sign of aggressiveness, like the dominate male lion who gorges and then sleeps, people and dawgs who are compelled to sleep after a meal are generally the agressive, dominant member of the family!

MOLLY THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR THIS POST. I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES I DAY I HEAR MOM COMPLAINING ABOUT THE CRUMBS AROUND MY KIBBLE DISH. I AM A DAINTY EATER BUT ONE KIBBLE AT A TIME BUT I DON'T LIKE FOR THE CRUMBS TO GET IN MY KIBBLE BOWL SO I EAT OVER THE PLACE MATE. I'LL EXPLAIN TO MOM THAT I'M POWERFUL LIKE OZ AND TO BACK OFFHUGS MADI YOUR BFFF

NOW let us tell you... WE can be VERY much Messy... butt then when MOM is way slow with the treat dispensing... we go BACK and HOOVER up all the crumbs and stuffs... so does that Still mean that we are Pawerful???

Hey Molly!Wow, looks like you are about to whip up some homemade barbeque sauce...maybe having some delish meats later?!? BOL I am most definitely sloppy, so we both have the power, my furiend. Mom just complains and gripes, but I don't care. Now I know why! BOLGrr and Woof,Sarge, Police Commish

Wow, guess that means that my hubby is a powerful person! Also, my daughters Bichon Lily-she makes such a mess. Hunter isn't too bad. This was cool to read. Have a great time eating!Wags, Noreen & Hunter

I'm POWERFUL!! I eat very delicately! From my bowl in the tiled KITCHEN I pick up one piece of kibble, take it into the carpeted LOUNGEROOM where I eat it leaving crumbs everywhere. I repeat the process until my bowl is empty then I use the posh lounge as my napkin.

Wow, so pleased you repotted this important scientific finding Molly. I fee a bit guilty that I, as Bouncing Bertie Boffin, let this one slip, but my assistant has had other things on her mind this week.Toodle pip!Bertie.PS My level of messiness depends on the length of my beard. Which I guess goes with the idea that having a haircut makes you lose strength...

Snorts - I think we all have our traits that make us well "US". Daddy I do believe takes top winner at the Hotel Thompson. He drops things. Mom says he does it on purpose for us anipals. I'm just glad he does it. Some of the things he 'drops' are delectable little morsels that we enjoy :) Have a great day my friend. XOXO - Bacon

Oh....I am still drooling for your HP Sauce. Anyways, my Daddy-dog is a messy eater...it drives Ma nuts! But he is a very smart and powerful man...so maybe there is something to this "research". BOL Happy Tuesday, Molly.Oz
